They don't have to be good nor bad. Just these games were released and quietly forgotton. Name some.
I'll go first.
Halo Wars 2 (got released during the PS4 storm of games)
Gravity Rush 2 (same as Halo Wars 2,shame as it's great)
Steep (does anyone remember this let alone it's coming to Switch?)
For Honor(seems like it got lost like a fart in a hurricane)
Dead Rising 4 (apparently it's out)
I can name more but let's see some responses. Recently does not have to be this year. Within the past 2-3 years.

Panty Party. Came out this year. It's fantastic. Nobody cared 'cause 99% of gamers are too uptight for its glory. Their loss.

Re: Name some recently released games...everyone already for
Classic JRPG series seem to be dying, with the exception of notable ones like Ys, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest...
Here's what jumps to mind...
Adventures of Mana (another remake of the first game, meh)
Breath of Fire 6: Hakuryuu no Shugosha-tachi (freemium crap)
Langrisser Re:Incarnation -TENSEI- (first entry since 2000, only one of two released in the West along with the very first installment)
Phantasy Star Nova (a small outcry over the lack of a Western release, now forgotten)
Sorcery Saga: The Curse of the Great Curry God (Madou Monogatari series, only one released in the West, first entry since 1998)

Sega fumbled hard not bringing much of the newer Phantasy Star stuff over here. Must have been an overseas server cost or something, I have no idea why we didn't get them.
For something comical yet serious, Halo 5. Probably for good reason, but it was pretty funny to see this game basically disappear a week after release.
I think Nioh was kind of the sleeper hit among the Q1 onslaught this year so far. Yakuza 5 surprisingly got a lot of coverage which is awesome and the remake is dropping this summer, so it will still be out there in the front. Nier Automata sold well and has done fantastically which is awesome. But yeah of all the big Japanese hits recently, I feel that Nioh only really hit a strong but small niche' and already seems like it's fallen a bit into the shadows. I can't wait to play it though.

For Honor actually wasnt forgotten, it has/had a big following, definitely didn't fly under the radar.
Gravity Rush 2 was a disappointment for fans of the first game. I think it just wasnt well received.

I think Ghost Recon Wildlands and For Honor are in the top 3 highest selling games of the year so far from what I heard on a podcast the other day.
Yeah, let that sink in.

Re: Name some recently released games...everyone already for
There are actually a bunch that if I don't write them down, I will probably forget. And they're big ones, too, like Nier: Automata, Horizon: Zero Dawn, and the like.
Also, there's Blossom Tales, which I probably need to pick up sooner than later. And Wonder Boy: Dragon's Trap. And Cosmic Star Heroine. Gah. Too many games!

Re: Name some recently released games...everyone already for
Uhh, the only new game I played recently was Watchdogs 2, although I did thoroughly enjoy it! There've been a lot of really great, big releases this year so far in both the multiplayer and single player space. The single player ones are really crowding each other out though, which is a little sad, so there's bound to be a few which slip through the cracks.
I tend to play very few actually new games though, so the only ones I generally know about are the ones I hear about on podcasts and the ones Elkin and Popo review on the beaten thread
. There's just SO much great older stuff I haven't played yet (that I usually already own) that I haven't played yet to have time to care about all these new expensive games, ya dig?!
